I keep my photos on the memory cards, I just purchase new ones when my space gets limited. I then transfer them to a memory stick and they are also saved to flickr. So hopefully I won&#39;t have any issues of losing them. As far as inventory, I actually write down photo subjects taken for each trip to NYC (my blog is about NYC) by date and then number the memory stick and list each date of photos where they are stored on the memory stick. It works well for me and makes it easy for me to find shots I have taken of prior events.

Of course they can and do last longer, but that is how long they are designed to last. There is a new disk designed to last 1,000 years and has been approved for use by the Department of Defense. The info is etched rather than printed. They run about $3 each and require a compatible disk writer (LG and others and are less than $100) More info is at mdisc (dot) com. Likewise, SD Cards, external drives, etc. are fragile. My plan is to use an external hard drive, M Discs, and online. A second external at a family members&#39; home is extra protection.debisbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08679451505610803589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839117669775309873.post-18428465422193214322014-03-08T21:05:42.294+00:002014-03-08T21:05:42.294+00:00Sounds good - as I said, I&#39;d always back up on...Sounds good - as I said, I&#39;d always back up on an external hard drive as well, though.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11906068792607088261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839117669775309873.post-78394825040105575182014-03-08T19:34:34.760+00:002014-03-08T19:34:34.760+00:00We are backing up on the cloud with Carbonite.

There are nice little plastic files for the SD card that holds 10 of them.. I am sure there are other ways to keep the SD cards.. but this is working for me now...<br />I lost photos also when my computer failed.. I still see some of them in my mind.. Funny, I see photos in my mind, but not the all the fiber art I have made.

I hope Katie might be able to get back some of her photos! <br />I archive my photos in the same way you do - date of the shoot and name.

I copy the raw files from my card to my Dropbox account and an external hard drive. Each day&#39;s shoot is stored in a folder using the date and, where relevant, event as the folder name. For example, any photos taken today would go in a folder labelled 20140307 for a general shoot or 20140307SuttonPark if I decided to take my camera around the local park.Mike Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530946073882154423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839117669775309873.post-75854233634853737932014-03-07T08:38:18.133+00:002014-03-07T08:38:18.133+00:00Hi Katie.

I had a 1TB drive &#39;die&#39; on me some time ago so I put it to one side. Recently I went back to it and found it had come back to life. Sometimes what happens with hard drives is the heads &#39;stick&#39; in place. You can cure this by giving the drive a firm knock. I don&#39;t advise it with a working drive but if it&#39;s dead anyway what have you got to lose? I suspect this is what resurrected my old drive as it would have been literally rattling around in the junk box.Mike Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530946073882154423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839117669775309873.post-57379488265982011472014-03-06T22:26:42.251+00:002014-03-06T22:26:42.251+00:00Oh, another sad story.

Must be such a shock to hear there are no photos of your wedding. <br />Thank you for sharing your process and experience, Jess! I really appreciate it. As I said in my reply above, I do think it is such an important aspect to talk about, it can be one of the most annoying things to lose your photos.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11906068792607088261noreply@blogger.com
